The role of food-related strategies and social support
Participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) 2019–2024
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the largest U.S. food safety net program, serves over 42 million people. This study synthesizes evidence of barriers and enablers to participation in SNAP among income-eligible individuals and relevant stakeholders. Peer-reviewed studies based in the United States and published between 2019 and 2024 were included in this review. Data were extracted and synthesized across five (5) databases, an…
Front-of-Package Nutrition Labeling
Americans consume added sugars, saturated fat, and sodium in excess, which heightens risk of preventable, diet-related chronic diseases. Many packaged foods and beverages high in these nutrients feature confusing labels, hindering consumers’ ability to make choices that align with their health goals. Front-of-package nutrition labels (FOPNL) aim to address this issue by providing clear, accessible nutrition information on the front of product pac…

Residential urban food environment profiles and diet outcomes among adults in Brooklyn, New York
Objective: To assess the clustering properties of residential urban food environment indicators across neighbourhoods and to determine if clustering profiles are associated with diet outcomes among adults in Brooklyn, New York. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Five neighbourhoods in Brooklyn, New York. Participants: Survey data ( n 1493) were collected among adults in Brooklyn, New York between April 2019 and September 2019. Data for food enviro…
Adolescents’ proxy reports on obesity-related parenting practices
We found that adolescent- and parent-reported obesity-related parenting were significantly associated, while adolescent-reported parenting were more explanatory of fruit and vegetable intake and physical activity than parent-reported parenting. These findings suggest that adolescent proxy reports may be a valid source of information on obesity-related parenting
Exploring a theory of change
Psychometric Properties and Analysis of the Masculinity Barriers to Medical Care Scale Among Black, Indigenous, and White Men
Non-Hispanic (NH) Black, American Indian/Alaska Native (Indigenous), and NH-White men have the highest colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality rates among all other racial/ethnic groups. Contributing factors are multifaceted, yet no studies have examined the psychometric properties of a comprehensive survey examining potential masculinity barriers to CRC screening behaviors among these populations. This study assessed the psychometric properties of our…
Motivation, Attitudes, and Diet Quality Among US Parents and Adolescents
Objectives: In this paper, we assessed interdependent associations between food-related psychosocial traits and diet quality (ie, healthy and ultra-processed food consumption) among parent-adolescent dyads. Methods: This secondary analysis used data from the Family, Life, Activity, Sun and Health (FLASHE) study, which measured diet and other health behaviors in American parent-adolescent dyads (N = 1646). Actor-Partner Interdependence Models were…
Development and Validation of a Parental Health-Related Empowerment Scale with Low Income Parents
Results support initial validity of a brief survey measuring parental empowerment for child health among Head Start parents. The PEARR can be utilized to measure changes in parental empowerment through interventions targeting empowerment as a mechanism of change
Targeting family functioning, acculturative stress, and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption for obesity prevention
A socio-ecological perspective that incorporates the role of key acculturation-related factors across multiple levels may aid efforts to identify mechanisms that influence the relationship between acculturation status and diet among Hispanic/Latino youth and their families
Antenatal dietary concordance among mothers and fathers and gestational weight gain
Mothers had higher risk for excessive GWG when both partners had unhealthy FF consumption frequency, and when fathers had unhealthy FV consumption frequency. These findings imply that fathers should be involved in educational opportunities regarding dietary intake during pregnancy
Autonomous motivation, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and healthy beverage intake in US families
Objective To assess interdependent effects of autonomous motivation to limit sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption in relation to SSB and healthy beverage (HB) intake in mother–adolescent and father–adolescent dyads. Design Adopting a dyadic cross-sectional design, the actor–partner interdependence modelling (APIM) approach was used to construct and analyse two APIM for mother–adolescent and father–adolescent dyads. The first model assessed …
Efectos de la certificación turística en la gobernanza territorial
Aglomerar para innovar parece ser la principal palanca que utilizan los estados para mejorar la competitividad de las empresas y los territorios. En 2008, el gobierno de Chile implementa una poltica de cluster. Treinta empresarios de turismo de Olmu (regin de Valparaso), desarrollan un proyecto de certificacin agrupndose para mejorar la competitividad. Como estudio de caso, entrevistamos a los gerentes de las empresas de turismo, funcionarios pbl…
La persistente tensión entre poder y desarrollo
De las distintas situaciones que subyacen al desarrollo de las sociedades modernas sobresale el problema de la redistribución de los recursos materiales entre los diferentes agentes que intervienen en el conjunto de los procesos económicos y productivos.Como se evidencia claramente desde los siglos XVIII y XIX, tal situación deriva, a su vez, de la forma en que se distribuye el poder y de las posibilidades de influir en las principales instancias…
Determinants of Perceived Immigrant Job Threat in the American States
In the United States, the 2000s were marked by record numbers of immigrants and heightened levels of pro- and anti-immigrant agitation. As a result, research investigating anti-immigrant prejudice in the United States and other societies has surged. In this article, the authors investigate the determinants of perceived immigrant job threat in the fifty U.S. states in 2005. They draw upon three theoretical perspectives that dominate the study of p…
La preocupante falta de formación en desastres dentro de las escuelas de medicina latinoamericanas
De acuerdo al Centro de Investigacion sobre laEpidemiologia de los Desastres, entre 1974 y 2003 ocu-rrieron 6 367 desastres en el mundo, sin contar las epi-demias. Estos desastres han dejado un saldo de mas de2 millones de muertos, 5 100 millones de afectados,182 millones de personas sin hogar y danos en infraes-tructura valuados en US$ 1,38 billones (1). Solo en el presente ano, dos devastadores terre-motos asolaron a nuestro continente, uno el …
